- Are all the people in North Korea or Russia or many African countries responsible for their governments? The Gaza govt has not allowed any sort of elections or voting or voice of the people of any kind in 15 years. Add on to everything listed below and the population and people don't have enough consistent basic accommodations to be sure they are well versed enough to be able to properly decide or choose things like govt related things. - Gaza is being oppressed and heavily controlled by Israel and Egypt as well. Gaza's govt, "people in power", do not have the same power as almost any other government. - Your comment does make sense though. You used "they" three times. The way you used it is reminiscent of what I said it is reminiscent of. Your comment was a response to a response that was referring to "they" as all Palestinians, as was as sibling comment of yours. This comment appears to re-inforce that with your (1). -- Re: economy. From wikipedia: "An extensive Israeli buffer zone within the Strip renders much land off-limits to Gaza's Palestinians.[14]" _Note: Gaza is not in control of this_ "According to Al Jazeera, "19 human rights groups urged Israel to lift its siege on Gaza". The UN has also urged the lifting of the blockade,[17][18][19] while a report by UNCTAD, prepared for the UN General Assembly and released on 25 November 2020, said that Gaza's economy was on the verge of collapse and that it was essential to lift the blockade.[20][21]" _Note: seige, blockage are not something Gaza controls. It is Israel and Egypt._ "Due to the Israeli and Egyptian border closures and the Israeli sea and air blockade, the population is not free to leave or enter the Gaza Strip, nor is it allowed to freely import or export goods." _Same as the above Note_ "Israel maintains direct external control over Gaza and indirect control over life within Gaza: it controls Gaza's air and maritime space, as well as six of Gaza's seven land crossings. It reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Gaza is dependent on Israel for water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities.[22]" _Same as the above Note_ "Despite the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza,[22] the United Nations, international human rights organisations, and the majority of governments and legal commentators consider the territory to be still occupied by Israel, supported by additional restrictions placed on Gaza by Egypt." _Same as the above Note_
